When E.J. Manuel went public with his commitment last Wednesday, the big question became which recruits might join him and become part of Florida State's 2008 recruiting class. One of the first names mentioned was Christchurch (VA) five-star wide receiver Deion Walker, and for good reason.

Interestingly, Walker knew of Manuel's commitment before it was even public.

"He called me as soon as he committed," Walker said. "I knew he had committed because he was like 'Guess what?' and I was like 'Yeah, he definitely committed.' "
